Support » Plugin: Fetch Tweets » I don't get it, basic how-to?

    Hi,
    I do not understand how to use the plugin, it seems simple.

    I connected it to Twitter, permissions, etc.
    I activated Extensions.
    I activated Default Template.
    I added Rule By Name, got the ID number and shortcode. I put the short code in the page edit content area. Nothing happened.

    Did I miss one or several steps? Also can I import/display other accounts, the public ones I follow?

    UPDATE: I got it to work by using a plugin that lets me use widgets as page contents. Do I have to do the PHP stuff to get it to display on a page – as the content?

    Thank you

    Hi,

    It sounds you have followed the correct steps.

    Do I have to do the PHP stuff to get it to display on a page – as the content?

    No you don’t have to. You can use the shortcode. What shortcode exactly did you insert in your post?

    This:

    [fetch_tweets id=”61891, 61907″]

    Do tweets appear if you put separate shotcodes like this?

    [fetch_tweets id="61891"]
    [fetch_tweets id="61907"]

    It works! I need to find something with images, tweets look sparse or odd.
    My test page…take a look.

    The second ID is a problem – ignore that. I will look for something else in the meantime.

    Can I display anyone else’s Tweets?

    As I viewed the source code of your page, it looks like the outputs of tweets are enclosed in <pre><code> tags, which is causing extra padding and margins.

    Are you inserting the fetchTweets() function? It is not recommended in a post and use only the shortcode in a post.

    I don’t even know how to do any coding, at all. (I have had enough problems without messing with that.)

    I am trying to display other Tweets, from other pages/users, is that something I should be able to do?

    You can display tweets of various different Twitter accounts with this plugin. You need to know the screen name of the Twitter account that you want to fetch tweets from.

    Though you should fix the tweet layout issue on your site first. Do preview tweets display properly? You can check them by going to Dashboard -> Fetch Tweets -> Manage Rules and click on the View action link in the rule listing table.

    I do not see the View action link in the table. Just these headers:

    Rule Name Tweet Type Template Tags Shortcode / PHP Code

    Also, my ID is the only one that is displaying Tweets. They others are not.

    The other ID is showing up in the sidebar plugin. If I can improve the layout somehow – settings? or template? that will be excellent.

    I will skip the ShortCode for now.

    I am using the widget, with the sidebar plugin to display the widget as page content.

    UPDATE: Look at the same page now. It is fine.
    When I copy/pasted the shortcode into the edit text box, the format was PRE. I changed it to paragraph, and the layout is working.

    Thank you!

    So was the problem solved?

    I do not see the View action link in the table. Just these headers:

    Rule Name Tweet Type Template Tags Shortcode / PHP Code

    Hover the mouse cursor over the desired rule name in the table cell of the Rule Name column. You’ll see the View action link.
